Summary
Learning everything about ejections is one of the first lessons in flight training. From day one, all cadets are made aware of the significant risks involved in ejecting from a fighter jet. Everyone knows that ejection is the last resort, the final option a pilot can turn to when their jet is no longer recoverable. Pulling the handles is the toughest and quickest decision a fighter pilot may have to make in their entire career. Once the handles are pulled, the body is subjected to about 25 Gs of force as the ejection seat catapults the pilot into the air, placing immense strain on the body.
Or: three times Maverick had to eject

Summary
Post season 1
"It isn’t an option for Wilhelm. Whether Simon chose to forgive him or not, Wille can’t be with him- not in the way he deserves, not in the way that Wille longs for. This part of Wilhelm will always have to be hidden, and he knows now he can’t force anyone to be his secret, to put up with this shit.
No choice, no choice, no choice, he’d repeat it like a mantra until it finally fucking clicked. 'You are the crown prince,' his mother had practically seethed over Christmas supper not two weeks ago. 'It’s not about what you want, it is about what is required of you.'Better that everyone just move on from this shit.
(Easier said than done.)"
